• Deletion of user account for disk space

  Dear Sir or Madam:

  Deleting a user will represent to free up more disk space on Windows XP?

  This situation applies to Windows 7 and Windows 8?

  Please reply back soon.

  Thank you.

  A "user account" in itself takes up very little space.  But once the user first logs on, Windows creates a 'profile' so that the user who can occupy a lot of space.  The profile includes all files used on the user's desktop and files under "My Documents" folder of the user (among others) which may be quite large, but includes everything what preferences and user files.

  In Windows XP, you can see the amount of space used by each user profile to:

  Right click on "My Computer"-> properties-> (Advanced tab)-> settings (in the user profile Section)

  If you have permission, you can select a profile and click on the 'Delete' button to free up disk space.  He recreated the next time the user logs on but delete everything that the user files.

  In Windows 7, the same screen can be obtained from:

  Right click on "Computer"-> properties-> Advanced System Settings-> (Advanced tab)-> the settings in the user profile Section.

• iPhoto and photo library on hard drive storage

  

  I'm trying to free up space on my HD, and I've got this huge 'other' file.  Further investigation, it seems that he might actually reflect my pictures on my computer, despite photos apparently only 12.42 GB of space.

  But then my pictures folder contains 80,21 GB of data.  So, the 'library of Photo migrated' iPhoto said he composed 24.96 GB.  And the photo library makes 53,11 Go.  Can I delete the iPhoto library (is it a duplicate because it was migrated?)

  

  Yes. But you claim back so much space that you think that both applications share the masters BLAH common to both pictures.

• ICloud deleting deletes photo library photos from iCloud, photo sharing

  I have iCloud photo library on my Mac and on my iPhone.  I created an album of photos and videos to spend several weeks going apartment hunting in my neighborhood.  I have friends who are also looking for apartments in my neighborhood and these photos and videos would be useful for them.  So I want to share all these content with them using iCloud, photo sharing.  However, I have this great set of photos/videos over on my Mac or my iPhone, because I have an apartment and my use for these photos.

  So I want to:

  1. create a shared album (let's call it 'Videos apartment').

  2. Add all my photos and videos of my apartment hunting that is currently in my library to iCloud.

  3 share only iCloud library with my friends (they can add, comment, do what they want)

  4 delete the original files from my library to iCloud I don't don't need or want these photos over on my personal devices.

  My question is: if I delete the photo in step 4, which will also remove the same pictures of the iCloud Shared Library?

  It would be useful to know if the iCloud share photos are copies separated from my photos of the library, or are the same.

  Sharing albums and Photo library iCloud iCloud different services and are stored independently from each other.

  When you create a shared album and share with your friends, you will see the shared album and photos in your photo library, but you can remove the originals from your photo library, as long as you do not remove the shared album photos. In the shared album photos can be slightly smaller than your original photos, because there is a limit of size of pixels for shared photos.

  I get the message "your system has wearied of the memory of the Application." So I can not open Mail, Safari, or any application.  However, I can periodically, the first thing in the morning, after I Shut Down & power up, not after a reboot.  I deleted a lot of photos and videos to free up space, but not luck.  IPhotos, I get the mssg. "cannot import pictures because not enough free space on the volume containing the iPhoto library."     The problem might be related to: 1 overheating, 2 PureVPN although I installed about 5 months ago and it was very good; 3. the MB Air was diverted (I'm worried that PureVPN may have something to do with it).  Or is this a sign that I need to get a new laptop?  Thanks for any help you can offer!

  release disk space and short-term memory are two different things. If your computer is running more disk space, it will have a negative effect on your system.

• Photo library take too much space even with active iCloud

  I am paying to iCloud and I have hundreds of GB available, yet my iPhone 5 c is constantly telling me I'll have storage problems, mainly caused by the photo library, containing several GB.  I have iCloud library enabled, as well as the option 'optimize iPhone storage '.  Photos latest have already transferred in my library, so I know that photos download correctly and not late, but why the library still takes so much space?

  Because it is.

  If you have used all available space on your phone, you need to remove some content on the phone.

  The setting "Optimize phone Storage" is not magic. Your phone still has a finite amount of space. It may be that pictures should be removed, but it will be something.

  Check the settings > general? Use storage & icloud. Look what's too much your space.

• Deleting files to recover disk space?

  Greetings,

  I'm trying to archive a large number of files on a CD in order to release an amount of disk space needed on my computer. I tried to put a .bat file to identify files and then edit it to copy to a CD and finally delete, but syntas does not reach me.

  Coming from the old DOS times, I don't know how to handle path names super long windows. Attached, one of the lines in my .bat file, with a super long file name, not recognized, if I get an error. Can someone correct the syntax please or enlighten me? I kind of resist the manual approach based on Windows to delete files. Too many of them.

  Thank you for your help.

• iMac Mavericks - delete the Admin user & increase disk space

  My iMac Specs:

  21.5 inch, mid-2014

  OS X Version 10.9.5

  Processor 1.4 GHz Intel Core i5

  Memory 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3

  Graphics  Intel HD Graphics 5000 1536 MB

  Serial number  C0 * Y0T

  Software  OS X 10.9.5 (13F1808)

  Mac HD 160,11 GB free on 499.25

  Hello

  My wife gave me his iMac and she is listed as a user Admin I created my own user. I want to create more disk space by removing his admin account.

  
  

  Apple gives these instructions:

  OS X Mavericks: remove a user

  If you are an administrator, you can remove users that you would no longer have access to your Mac.

  When you delete a user, you can save the home folder of the user, which contains the files and the settings of the user, or delete the folder.

  Open the preferences users and groups, and then click the lock icon to unlock it. If required, type your password, and then click on unlock.

  Select the user you want to remove, and then click Remove under the list of users.

  Do one of the following:

  To save the home folder of the user as a disc image, select "Save the home folder in a disk image." The disk image is saved in/Users/deleted users.

  In order to leave such base file, select "do not change the folder." The folder remains in / Users /.

  To delete the folder of your computer, select "Remove the folder." If you want to keep the programs that read the raw data to recover all files, select "delete the folder safely."

  Click on the user to remove.

  If you do not remove a personal folder user, you can restore the user and the content of the home folder.

  
  

  My questions, that they do not explain the instructions.

  1. can I delete his account if I'm not the Admin? I can access the admin account.

  2. can I designate me as the new admin, and then delete his account?

  3. I have, indeed, will create more disk space by removing account here?

  4. If I register his record as a disk image, which will open disk space without delete me the entire account?

  
  

  A technician Apple told me that I can not increase the memory of 8 GB to 16 GB on my vision.

  5. can't increase memory - is this true?

  My computer works as fast as I want and I'm trying to reduce the load on the system.

  6. I go about it the right way or is there something more I can do?

  Thank you

  Hi Tony, I asked your serial number erased. You never want to post in a public forum.

  To answer your question, no, you can not delete the account if you are not admin. You try to delete the account to become the sole Director of the computer? If so, everything will always be linked to his Apple ID and will require a password to authenticate anything. If this is the case, you must wipe the drive and reinstall the OS using internet recovery.

• help to find a deleted photo

  Hello

  I deleted a photo on my laptop and need help to find. It always shows as my desktop backround then Im guessing it must be stored somewhere on my laptop or with windows? I have sought in the background and the appuser part but still can not find it anywhere. Any other ideas? Where can else I search for it? IM using windows 7.

  Thanks for your help.

  Click the start ORB, type "regedit.exe" (without the quotes) and press enter

  Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop

  In the right pane, search for 'Wallpaper' in the column 'name '; the entry in the 'Data' column points to the file in use.

  You should not make changes in regedit.

  It is usually C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Themes.  The AppData folder is normally hidden, so type the full path in the Windows Explorer address box or use tools > Folder Options > view > show hidden files, folders and drives.

• Opening reassociating/merger with Photos library: help

  I did my due diligence by reading the previous posts on this topic, but I stay confused because I found enough previous posts about my specific question/situation.  So, here goes.

  When first Photos are out with Yosemite, I chose to continue using Aperture and my main application. So when I first launched the pictures, I said 'no' to the opening of import process.  In opening, part of my library is on my Mac and the other is referenced on an external drive.

  I have now decided to cut ties with Aperture (d * mn you Apple...) and go with Photos (and storage iCloud). (I really tried to warm up in Lightroom, but it's just so... so...) Gly).

  Currently, in the Photos, there is a folder called "iPhoto events" that contains the file structure that seems to be the same there as it is in the opening.

  My questions:

  How can [1] I now say Photos to import my Aperture library (given that this option is not officially presented once you launch at the start of the pictures for the first time)?

  [2] as I continued to use the opening for awhile, I reason that changes to the photos I made it do not appear in 'iPhotos events' in the Photos?

  [3] for the photos referenced in Aperture, should I - Interior opening - first turn them into photos managed (assuming my SDD as being the ability - all photos, or should I leave it as referenced and can say Photos where they are (using the 'show referenced file in the Finder... "Command.

  Silly question...

  No reason not to blow your library of existing Photos and simply re - import into your Aperture library?  You don't mention using Photos at all then perhaps there is nothing worth keeping 'current' library who would come again if you simply re-created.

  The answer to Question 1 is similar to what I mentioned above, delete your current photo library and then drag and drop your Aperture library on top of the icon of Photos or simply revive Photos and he will complain that it can't find your just deleted photo library and asks you to find it and you could point to your Aperture library.  Where things could get complicated, is if you have made changes / updates / additions in opening and Photos.  These would be quite difficult to reconcile if you did it manually much less waiting for your Mac to understand.

  The answer to Question 2 is exactly what you said - stuff that you did in Aperture rest in Aperture and stuff you did in Photos rest in Photos

  Do not have enough experience for the #3 answer, but I suspect either Photos it will handle or your suggested plan would work.

• Moving iPhoto/photo library

  Hello

  I'm moving my iPhoto and photo library to an external hard drive to save space on my MacBook Pro SSD. Once I located in my home folder, then the folder images, both iPhoto and photo libraries are there, and they say they have a capacity of approximately 200 GB each, so about 400 GB in total. When I moved the iPhoto on the external drive library (holding slipped and fell on the command key, so do NOT copy), he moved the so-called 200 GB in just about 15 minutes and when I checked my storage "about this mac" I won only about 6 GB. I have to move all the other files or through any other process to actually moved the library? I tried restart and have begun in iPhoto with the menu to choose the library and it still works fine and it is said that the entire library is on the external hard drive, but the ability is not sensible for me. Thanks for your time.

  they say they have a capacity of approximately 200 GB each, both on 400 GB total

  This is not correct.  The two libraries share the same data on the HDD through hard links initially so that they only take twice the amount of space on the hard disk. They can be copied/saved independently.

  New photos added to each library are independent of the other library.

  Here is more information about hard links:

  Photos saves disk space to share images with your iPhoto or Aperture - Apple Support libraries

  The (hard) link between Photos and iPhoto

  In the future, do not use the move feature.  If there is a problem then its moving target file may be damaged and the source file will be removed leaving you without useable file.

  

• Understand migrations from iPhoto to Photos

  After you migrate an iPhoto for photo library, the file extension of the iPhoto Library is changed in .migratedphotolibrary, and my understanding is that the two libraries share the same files through the use of "hard links". I've also read that if one of the libraries is published subsequently, what causes the link between versions of break. Is this true?

  If so, my questions are:

  (1) If hard links break, this means that storage on hard drive required by the two libraries is increased by the size of one of the libraries? If so, who would not take a little time if the booksellers were important, for example 100 GB or more?

  (2) immediately after the migration, what happens if one of the libraries I move to a different folder? Again break hard links? If so, same question as above.

  No - change or deletion of a form of photos a library does not break the hard link and has no effect on the other library - they are totally independent

  1 - Yes

  2. Yes, I believe that to break hard links - travel for sure as a library to another volume break

  Why move a? Usually simply leave you it where it is for several months until you are sure that you need is no longer and then archive and delete
